Where to eat alone in Berlin

Berlin is a counter city: ramen bars, currywurst stands under the U-Bahn, and one of Europe's best chef's counters that books a single seat.

How to do it here

Berliners eat dinner early and alone without a second thought. Late walk-ins after 9:30pm get you into places that are full at 7.
